Textures are a staple in any successful space in your home, office or workplace. As designers, we use texture to add a sense of comfort and visual interest. These can be used to create a certain feel, look or mood, evoking sensory responses in you and your guests as you experience the space.
Boucle, we are seeing it everywhere in today’s design trends and we can’t get enough of it. Here at Trit it is a key fabric in our styling and designs, but how much do you really know?
Lets start simple, people pronounce Boucle many different ways, so don’t get caught out next time you’re deep in design language, it is pronounced [BOO] + [KLAY] which is derived from the French word ‘loops’, pretty easy right?
Boucle isn’t a new textile either, it’s an old trend that has come back to life in recent years and girl, what-a-comeback. Reoccurring trends is something that has become a habit in modern society, they feel familiar, they evoke emotion and they bridge the gap between old and new. As designers calling on the past is a great way to add layers to a design and boucle is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to inspiration
Originating in the 1940’s by Architect Florence Knoll and designer Eero Saarinen, this classic texture is of a ‘nubby’ textile made from a yarn of ‘curled fibres’. Typically made from a series of lopped fibres, wool being the most common. Though cotton, linen and silk have also been used to achieve this distinct texture.
Here at Trit, boucle is remained through modern designs, on trend colours and our signature oreo boucle finish. Take a look at some of our key pieces
Here our Half & Half Lounge Chair by Aleksej Iskos for Wendelbo, this chair catches the eye with it’s interesting shape, it’s name coming from Iskos’s idea of an occasional chair being half functional and half sculptural.
